Homestead Co-op has always been a great support of our Friendship Centre. We rely on them for many activities and events, from large orders to small Portage Homestead, which has taken care of everything for us. The staff are accommodating and friendly and go out of their way to assist us with our orders. For many years, the Portage Homestead Co-op has assisted us with a community BBQ for our Parent/Child Program; the money raised from this event all goes directly to the Summer Day camp that we provide for urban indigenous children at no cost to their families.

Homestead Co-Op and the Fuel Good Day was so wonderful in supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs. With this support we were able to recently match a young boy with a mentor. The youth has face tragedy, having witnessed the loss of both his mother and his younger brother to a disease he himself is fighting. By pairing him with a caring adult mentor, we've given him the opportunity to explore new activities and forge a meaningful connection outside his immediate family.

We thank Homestead Coop (Carman) for their generous donation of a gift card which we combined with a cash prize to our 1st place giant pumpkin winner, J Terwin. We truly appreciate your support to our community fair.
